Botswana: Mielieroomsop

The Dish: Corn soup
The Country: 71% of Botswana's land is used for public grazing, which has lead to extreme desertification (land drying up).

onions and stuff

Ingredients:
1 medium sized onion
1 tbsp butter
15 ml corn flour
400 ml warm milk
450 ml chicken broth
1 can of cream style sweet-corn
celery salt
pepper

hmmmm.. flavored salt?

Procedure
Chop the onion. Fry it with the butter until slightly brown.
Put the onion and the corn flour into a large pot.  Stir over medium heat for one minute.
Microwave milk for 30 seconds.  Add to pot.  Stir until well mixed.
Add all other ingredients.  (Celery salt and pepper to taste)
Stir over high heat until boiling.

It's a lot yummier and heartwarming than it looks...

Notes:
It was actually so much better than I thought it would be.  I was expecting it to be gross and mushy, but it really was a good soup for a fall afternoon. The only thing I didn't like was the massive amount of onions.  They added to the flavor, but the soup looked a little bit like a pot of worms.
